One of the most sexist things I’ve read lately. Your entire argument rests on the assumption that men are always the commitment-phobic partners (and thus the ones who also have the power to make a decision about marriage or not). But if you know any modern, educated women, you’ll realized many are not obsessed with being married. Oftentimes it’s the woman who is not so sure she wants to be committed. And so if a man proposes, to her, HE’LL never know if she was sure. The best thing to do is just wait until both parties clearly want to be together, and then one party or the other (preferably, the woman, if you actually ever want equality) does the asking or there is a mutual agreement. Anything else is just blind sexist tradition.

In reply to Jacquline-Charlemagne Broyles. Well said and I can't speak for all men, but instead of stealing my thunder, it gave me more! Behind a strong wise man is an even stronger and wiser woman who can support her man has the ability to step up in charge should her man stumble. Very well stated Jacquline!

In reply to Sonya Tate Morris. That is the thinking of sooo many women. Sit back and wait. You have been single for 9 yrs. Are you going to wait another 9 and be alone for nearly 20 yrs are you going to put that hogwash aside and go after what you want.

In reply to Phena Hackett. Well stated!!! I know a woman how has both little boys and girls. Sadly she is setting her girls up for failure. Her daughters are not really allowed to play outside with their brothers as they may get dirty. Please! Rather when we go over there, her 2 daughters run around saying they are princesses yet stuck playing with their doll house and helping mom in the kitchen. What happens when they get young adults? Like you said they're going to so caught up with get a ring and that guys treat them like their mom demands... as princess. They will never propose to a man. You're so right that true love has not time limits or traditional rules. Kudos!
